OPER ATING
PILLS.,
For Constipation,
Sluggish Liver, etc.

T Mike many kinds of cathartic
~ medicines, do not make you
feel worse before you feel better.
Their operation is gentle, but thor
ough, and unattended with disagree
able effects, such as nausea, gripping
pains, &c.
Seigel's Operating Pills
are the best family physic that has
ever been discovered. They cleanse
the bowels from all irritating sub
stances, and leave them in healthy
condition.
The best remedy extant for the
bane of our lives-constipation and
sluggish liver.
These Pills prevent fevers and all
kinds of sickness, by removing all
poisonous matter from the bowels.
They operate briskly, yet mildly,
without any pain.
If you take severe cold, and are
threatened with fever, with pains
in the head, back and limbs, one or
two doses of Seigel's Operat-
ing Pills will break up the cold
and prevent fever.
A coated tongue, with brackish
taste, caused by foul matter in the
stomach. A few dOses,of Seigel's
Operating Pills will cleanse the
stomach, remove the bad taste, and
restore the appetite, and with it
bring good health.
Oftentimes disease, or partially
decayed food, causes sickness, maui
sea and diarrhna. If the bowels are
cleansed from this impurity with a
dose of Seigel's Operating
Pills, these disagreeable effects
will vanish, and good health result.
Seige's Operating Pills
prevent ill-effects from excess in
eating or drinking. A good dose at
bedtime renders a person fit for bust
ness in the morning.
These pills, being Sugar-coated,
are pleasant to take. The Disagree
able taste common to most pills is
obviated.

ANOTHER TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.
NEARLY FIFTY LIVES LOST.

Saturday morning the Boston and
Montreal midnight express met with
an accident more terrible in suffer
ing and loss of life than the one at
Tiffin, Ohio, several weeks ago. The
Vermont Central Railroad crosses
White River, tributary of the Con.
necticut, at Woodstock, Vt. The
train was made up of several pas.
senger cars and sleeping coaches,
and carried number of people as
visitors to the Montreal ice carnival.
The passenger cars from some cause
run off the track near the bridge and
continued on the croSs.ties until the
bridge was reached, when they
plunged into the river; the engine,
baggage and postal cars crossed the
bridge in safety and were stopped
there. The engineer seized an axe
aud hurried to the river below,
where fire had already broken out
among the wreck. The ice did not
break, and there was no water
at hand; the cold was intense
Neighboring help came; the cars
were broken open where possible,
but the flames gained quick head
way and burned up those imprison-
ed, many of whom were injured and
fastened in by the fall. The descrip.
ton of the sufferings is impossible.
A few escaped with their lives.
though crippled and badly burned ;
the rest persisted in the flames. The
sight must have been most heart,
rendlng; the screams of men and
women unable to extricate them
selves or be rescued, slowly burning
to death before the eyes of those
present, on a cold winter night, can
give only a faint idea of the sad dis
tress. About 40 lives were lost.
